CNA Certified Nursing Assistant Exam Cram
by Linda Whitenton and Marty Walker
Site Price: $16.10 (regularly $29.99)
A review from Amazon:
The book is really concise. Less fluff is good when you’re short on time. Each chapter has 10 review questions with rationales so I found it really helpful to go through the book only twice to be comfortable. I recommend it as a refresher course and as a hardcore study tool because it covers many different topics for the CNA exam. I haven’t found any mistakes in rationales or typos like other books either.
